Western Slope Iron and Supply recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with an open house that brought together customers, contractors, vendors, subcontractors, and trade partners. Three generations of owners, including founder Jim Over, his son Jeff Over, and current owner David Marsh, were present for the celebration. Over 100 people attended the event, including representatives from the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce who held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to honor the company’s milestone.
Western Slope Iron and Supply has become a significant employer in the area with 65 employees from Mesa County. The company specializes in steel fabrication and has provided materials for various local projects such as the James Pulsipher Regional Cancer Center at Community Hospital, the new Grand Junction High School, the Orchard Mesa Middle School, and the Lincoln Park Stadium Tower. The company’s success over the years is attributed to its dedicated employees, loyal customers and a commitment to treating people well by its owners.
The celebration was an opportunity for attendees to see firsthand how Western Slope Iron and Supply has grown over the past 50 years. The company’s work on projects outside of Colorado such as the expansion of McCarran International Airport (now Harry Reid International Airport) in Las Vegas was also highlighted during the event.
Marsh expressed his gratitude for the company’s success over the years and thanked everyone who had contributed to it. He emphasized that Western Slope Iron and Supply would continue to provide excellent service to its customers while maintaining its commitment to treating people well.
